INTRODUCTION

Hacienda’s location puts its employers and residents in convenient reach of all major Bay Area commercial, labor, educational, recreational, and cultural centers, thanks to its immediate access to two major Interstate freeways, 580 and 680. Hacienda is located close to both San Francisco (36 miles away with a 50 minute drive time during peak commute hours) and Silicon Valley (22 miles away with a 35 minute drive time during peak commute hours), with Oakland only 25 minutes away. This gives Hacienda employers unrivaled regional access to customers, workforce, and suppliers. Hacienda residents find equal advantage both locally and regionally with convenient access to jobs, schools, shopping, parks, entertainment, and much, much more.

Access to and from Hacienda via public transit is outstanding as well. Bay Area Rapid Transit, or BART, is one of the nation’s premier mass transit rail systems and has a station in the park. With trains rolling into the Hacienda BART station every 15 minutes, employers at Hacienda have access to labor pools well beyond the traditional 30 minute automobile commute. This access is further enhanced by commute-hour rail service from the Central Valley via the Altamont Commuter Express (ACE) train. Moreover, as the eastern terminus of the BART system and the mass transit hub of the I-680 corridor, Hacienda is served by transit providers throughout the Bay Area and the Central Valley.
